   I bought the assembly bible once and started reading. I decided
life's too short for that. The beauty of VB6 is that I can drag-drop
GUI elements. No 3 pages of code to create a button. At the same
time, I can use Win32 API for most of the functionality. I probably
never would have bothered if the only choice were early C++. If I
want to write that doesn't mean I also want to perfect paper
manufacturing. I can see the appeal of building a ship in a
bottle. I'm just too practical to do all that work only to have an
object to sit on a bookshelf.
